There was movement from https://entomofarms.com/ https://entomofarms.com/ about a year or two ago here in Canada. Loblaws groceries were selling powder. But I don't see it much anymore. I'm not sure, with such a psycho-socio-cultural change requirement, that a company can go this alone without help. There would have to be something akin to our dairy, egg or wheat boards. I suspect a big chunk of cash would have to be dedicated just to marketing. I think there are many that would love to include these products in their diet - people abstain from meat for a variety of reasons and this might fill that gap. Especially if it can really be shown to be a sustainable product.

As for powdered, I guess it's just a form factor - you're encouraged to fortify other foods by adding it rather than treat it as a standalone food. (Fortify=hide)
